Note. Following market feedback this lamp has been changed to illuminate RED at 120 °C
only. The yellow and green colours are not shown in 2018 models.
3.13.9 Oil Pressure Indication (red / if installed)
Lighting up of the Oil Pressure Indication signals a problem within the lubrication system,
which is characterised by a drop of oil pressure to or below 0.8 bar. If Oil Pressure
Indication is lit cross-check with Oil Pressure Instrument, monitor Oil Pressure Instrument
and consider landing. Be prepared for engine failure.
3.13.10 Clutch (orange) (only with Rotorhead III)
Continuous light
Indicates a slipping clutch during pre-rotation.
Reduce engine RPM to closer match the rotor speed, and be more gentle when increasing
power.
Blinking
Intended take-off run with low rotor RPM – danger of blade flapping
Reduce power immediately, and stop if take-off has started. Re-apply the pre-rotator and
increase rotor RPM first. If the correct take-off rotor RPM cannot be reached, abort take-off.
3.14 Parameters out of Limits
PARAMETER EXCURSION CORRECTIVE ACTION
Engine Oil
Temperature
Upper
limit
or
yellow arc
Reduce power and increase air speed. If condition
cannot be corrected, land as soon as practicable.
Lower
limit
Allow engine to warm-up on ground.
Within lower
yellow arc
Uncritical as long as oil temperature has reached
normal operating range at or after take-off.
Cyl. Head
Temperature
Upper
limit
Reduce power and increase air speed. If condition
cannot be corrected, land as soon as practicable.
Engine Oil
Pressure
Upper
limit
or
yellow arc
Reduce power. If condition cannot be corrected, have
maintenance action performed prior to next flight.
Lower
limit
If combined with other indications, such as rising oil
temperature or unusual engine behaviour, shut-down
engine and perform a power-off landing as per
Emergency Procedure “Engine failure”.
Otherwise, monitor engine instruments carefully and
land as soon as practicable. Have maintenance action
performed.
